Day 44
Basically, I just grouped the plates and adjusted the color of the hay to the ref
And well, I made the sky like in childhood

Day 43
Checked out how Epic Games made hay roofs, took the idea, and added it to my project.
Sculpted all five roofs from scratch and textured them in Mixer.
Started placing hays on the first side roof—still need to adjust the colors.

Anyway, I've collected so many nice references of hay roof from cool artists

Day 41
Back from vacation. Got ~3-4h in today!
First tries at the thatched roof—total disaster:( Need refs, must redo.

Day 40
1hour - I seem to have finished painting the wall of the pipe, but in the process I realized that the roof of the pipe is not the same
And the normal map of the pipe is a little stronger than on the ref.

Day 39

Today I started making the roof + alpha planes of hay
I started texturing the props, which in general should be done at the very end
Still a lot of work, but I'm glad that in these 3 days I've done a really big amount of work
